Re: some general questions on RAID (OT)

[Sam Bingner <sam@bingner.com>]

The TS-879 and 1079 have Intel i3 Processors, and use a normal socket.  I
replaced it with an E3-1275 Xeon processor.  You can use Sandy bridge but
they do not have BIOS support for Ivy bridge processors.  I also replaced
my memory with 16GB ECC memory.

I did a lot of research about this stuff before buying it, which is why I
went with the TS-1079 Pro.  Works great with debian except for some lack
of LED support on a couple drives and the LCD always says "BootingŠ"
